You were right the first time. The smbfs drivers have been replaced by
the cifs drivers. The cifs drivers will work just fine with older
systems. Give it a shot.
CIFS and SMB are (relatively) the same thing. It is reasonable to think
of it this way: "The smbfs driver has been renamed cifs."
Good Luck!
